Considered to be one of the last great finds before the modern era of scouting, Willie Galimore was a 5^th Round Draft Pick in 1957 from Florida A&M.  Galimore was one of the quickest players in college, and that was the case when he went pro with the Chicago Bears.  Galimore would play seven seasons in the NFL, all with Chicago, and he would accumulate 4,186 Yards from Scrimmage, with three seasons seeing him finish in the top ten in Rushing Yards.  He helped the Bears win the 1963 NFL Championship, which unfortunately would be the last game he ever played.

Galimore died in a car crash before the start of the 1964 Season, thus ending his career, but he would be a precursor to many of the side-to-side rushers who would come after.  He is a far more influential player than most people realize.

Born in Russia and immigrating to Wisconsin at age four, Charles "Buckets" Goldenberg played college football in his home state and remained in the “Badger State” as a professional, signing with the Green Bay Packers in 1933.  The Packers were the only team he played for, and he stayed with them until 1945.  Goldenberg excelled at both sides of the ball and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1939, but more importantly, he helped the Packers win three NFL Championships (1936, 1939 & 1944).  He would be chosen for the 1930’s All-Decade Team.

Frank Cope was a member of the 1930's All-Decade Team, although most of his career took place in the 1940s.

Houston Antwine eschewed the Detroit Lions of the NFL for the Boston Patriots of the AFL, which seemed the right decision by all accounts. 

Antwine would become an AFL All-Star six years in a row (1963 to 1968) and was one of the few reasons to watch the Patriots in the '60s.  The Defensive Tackle was a First Team All-Pro in 1963 and a four-time Second Team All-Pro.  The All-Time AFL Selection would have 38 “unofficial” Quarterback Sacks over his career, and he deserves to be remembered far more than just in Boston.
